    Cooking Grate Height (From Ground)

    I'm starting to think about the undercarriage for my smoker project (see http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/127988/rf-build-a-story-in-pictures), and I'm trying to figure out how tall it needs to be.  It'll have a single cooking surface, so I'm not worried about shelves.  I've been measuring...

    RF Build: A Story in Pictures

    Door's out! I did most of the cutting with a 1mm cutoff wheel in my grinder, but I had to use a reciprocating saw in the corners to prevent overcutting.  Note how smooth and shiny the cutoff wheel cuts as opposed to the recip: The best part is that there was absolutely no springing! ...

    I call it the 20/20 Charcoal basket...

    It'd raise the cost a bit, but if you used stainless expanded metal instead of mild, it'd stand up to the heat better.

    RF Build: A Story in Pictures

    Thank you!  I got them from Northern Tool for $12.99 each. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200306307_200306307 They also have a larger one with a 3" leaf, but I think this was more than overkill as it is, and the longer leaf would just create more fitting difficulties; as it...

    Finally got my Smoker grinded down and painted (pics)

    Those oil pipes are great.  I'm working on a 55" x 24" x 3/8" right now.  Once it gets up to temperature, it ought to be pretty stable.

    Finishing the door cuts: Lessons learned: Harbor Freight, etc. cutoff wheels are just about worthless.  Diablo wheels, however, cut like they mean business!

    RF Build: A Story in Pictures

    Got the hinges welded on: The welding isn't very good, but it ought to hold up just fine.  Alignment was easy, once I thought about it: I pulled the bolts and ran a close-fitting dowel through both hinges to position them, tacked them down, then pulled the dowel and finished the welds. ...

    Pulled Pork Question

    If it's only going to be one day's delay, a big Ziploc bag ought to do just fine.

    One Butt on an EGG and another on my WSM (Side by Side Comparison)

    I suspect that's also why the BGE had less of a smoke ring.  Less fuel burned means less smoke produced, which means less smoke absorbed by the meat.
